Better known as Elaine on Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is still a regular TV fixture nowadays with her show The New Adventures of Old Christine. Surprisingly, Elaine…errrr…Julia seems to be looking better than ever, even though she’s a more mature 48 years old!
Showing off her rock-hard abs during a recent cover shoot for Shape magazine, the actress divulged her secret to staying fit and beautiful, without resorting to dangerous plastic surgery and cosmetic operations. According to Julia, the secret is plain, old hard-work.
Diet
The fitness begins first thing in the morning for Julia, who finds breakfast to be the hardest meal of the day. Seldom in the mood to eat right after she wakes up, she has learned to train herself to get the proper morning nutrition, which helps curb her hunger throughout the day. It helps, too, that her new favorite breakfast is a very healthy serving of two eggs (friend in olive oil) and a slice of whole wheat toast with honey - that’s protein and fiber, both great food choices to keep you satisfied for much longer.
Since she doesn’t make a habit of including vegetables with every meal and snacks, she eats a big serving of salad either for lunch or dinner to make up for the deficit. She further advises that the real key to eating well is finding healthy food that you like - that way, you don’t end up craving for the rest of the day.
Exercise
Apart from watching her food intake, Julia gets her exercise three to five times a week. She usually hits the outdoor trail jogging or performs indoor elliptical exercises in front of the TV.
